Summary:
 
If an embedded Microsoft Drawing object contains text, that text may
appear large relative to the other elements of the drawing in print
preview. The text in a Microsoft Drawing object appears correctly in
other Word for Windows views, such as page layout or normal view.
 
This is only a print preview display problem. The text usually prints
correctly, although the System font prints incorrectly, as displayed
in print preview. Other bitmap fonts may also print incorrectly.
TrueType fonts print correctly, even though they display incorrectly
in print preview.
 
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
 
More Information:
 
This is a known problem in which metafile text does not scale properly
in print preview.
